dark with a fine brown head that soon reduces to a film head at the edges.
roasted malts and a hint of bourbon, quite balanced with not that much wood and bourbon going on, unfortunately, but the borbon is super well rounded and smooth. aroma is quite traditional bourbon imp stout, chocolate, coconut, vanilla, licorice, faint wood, roasted malts, while not the most powerful bourbon imp stout , it is one of the most velvety and balanced.
flavor is roasted malts, bourbon, wood, faint licorice, faint chocolate all very well blended and very soft, end is roasted malty with bourbon, licorice chocolate.
A very balanced and smooth beer.

Brewed for 7/11 in Denmark.
pours brown with a giant light brown creamy head.
aroma is coffee, roasted coffee, cola nuts, roasted malts (dry, not sweet), a bit similar to guinness but less sweet, much more coffee. grinded non-sweet nuts.flavor is coffee, faint lacto like note, dry roasted malts, end is slightly lacto-like sweet, more roasted coffee, some bitter caramel, some dry roasted malts. really hard to find the hops in this one, perhaps slightly flowery pilsener like hops were used. The flowery note is probably the wheat malts, not the hops. I would much prefer a guienness, but then if I really needed coffee and the machine was out, this might be an alternative option.
Not bad as such, though. it's just hard to compete in coffee-stout-land.
The 7/11 coffee in DK is a lot better than this beer.
The beer really really reminds me of the traditional smokey brown danish bars, tastes like the day before hangover.

pitch black to very very very dark brown, small brown head that is bubbly and soon goes away.
A really nice, quite layered and complex aroma that starts out as wood, vanilla, roasted malts and hints of booze, dark caramel, dark chocolate. It has a tiny boozy almost a bit phenolic sting to it, if it was not for that, i'd give it 9 in aroma. some of my very favorite BCBS does not have this phenolic note, most black beers around 16% abv have it a lot more, and i don't really like it. the vanilla and wood and bourbon really blends well into a composite but even note, really good.
flavor is bourbon, roasted malts, vanilla, wood, dark chocolate, faint licorice, a boozy note, sorry to say, but a bit like cheap booze, very faint slightly fruity note , a bit like a liquer, but very faint. End is bourbonish and roasted malty.
I think this one needs some more years to get that boozy note to go mostly away. tasted feb 2026, bottle was 2021 i'd say give it 2-3 more years.

extremely hazy, totally opague, smooth creamy small light yellow head.
soft almost oily hoppy-herbal aroma with a good balance between hebal, juicy and sweet malty. there is a herbal sweet grassy ish note in there that reduces the experience a bit, but a very intense yet smooth and velvety aroma.
flavor is sweet malty, herbal hoppy, very full bodied, alc. nearly totally hidden, very full bodied, thick and chewwy, end is hoppy bitter with sweet grassy herbal notes. one of the most extreme hazy ipa's i've had, that still somehow maintains balance while being very very extreme at the same time. Super easy drinking for the ABV, people drinking this without noticing will not know what hit them.

pitch dark, small film brown head.
Aroma is berries, roasted malts. the red and blue berries are quite noticeable in the aroma. also dark chocolate. in fact not far from dark chocolate with berries.
flavor is dark chocolate with berries, roasted malts, dark toffee, the fruity part of the flavor is a bit artificial, like, candised berries, fruit flavor with sweetener added, not natural stuff, palate is super smooth and things are well balanced, just tastes a bit forced or a bit like using artificial flavoring.
apart from that, an excellent very smooth fruit-imperial stout. the end is nicely roasted malty bitter, making the beer go down very well.
Bottle from 2015 and tasted feb 2026 - the bottle has aged exceptionally well and there are no hints whatsoever of oxidation or flavors that have faded. Tastes like it was fresh, but have an exceptional rounding and blendedness to it. Good stuff. Wish I had tasted it 7 years ago when it was fresh for perspective, i doubt it was better back then though.

bottle in nice round cardboard tube with description of the bourbon and beer. Black with a film head. pours rather thick, looks good, the head is very small but still looks good.
aroma is heavy on the bourbon with strong chocolate notes, some licorice, velvety. some dark caramel, faint wood. very heavy aroma but not boozy or stingy. like it has settled well. fainter dark fruity notes (but not like a quad, not the yeasty stuff)
Flavor is heavy bourbon, licorice, faint coconut, aromatic wood, roasted malts, faint salt licorice, dark chocolate, faint peppery note, very faint cedar woody like oxidation like note - but it's not in the way, adds character. super soft texture and flavor, really heavy but at the same time very well blended and rounded. i think they had this one on wood as long as it could handle, and the result is very very good. definetly a level up compared to the normal bourbon county stout. refined, exclusive, distinct. pretty awesome.
nowadays people stuff all sorts of things in the stouts. this one is just the imp stout and the barrel - still a lot more complex than all the artificially flavored ones.
